about multiple network interface

Hi all,

   Sorry, I don't know if this is the right mail list. I got the
following question:
   I have a e100 card and a e1000 card. Whenever I boot the system, I
found the eth0 matches the e1000 card, and the eth2 matches the other.
How can I force the eth0 to match the e100 card and the eth2 to match
e1000?

Hi.

Check your /etc/modprobe.conf and put there

alias eth0 e100
alias eth2 e1000

Thanks very much

But this does work until I add a ifcfg-eth0 in
sysconfig/network-script with the following content:
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes

What is the relationship between these two files? And sometimes, I see
this message:
Bringing up interface eth0:  e100 device does not seem to be present, delaying e
th0 initialization.
Why??

It depends on your distro - when script calls "modprobe $DEVICE"
this ends up with modprobe eth0, which will check modprobe.conf.

This is fedora, right? Check you kernel config, scripts and whatever is
needed to load driver first and only then try to setup an address.
